> Oh, come on, don’t be disingenuous. Big-Star-Playing-Retarded-Person-Or-Famous-Dead-Singer is NOT the same thing as “high-quality/arthouse films”. There’s some overlap, but not a whole hell of a lot, and you know it. I don’t want to see _Twilight_, and I don’t want to see _I Am Sam_ either, I want to see a good movie that isn’t tailored to what the Academy likes to see.

That’s a good description at what I’m getting at, it’s those types of films which make me cringe.
